* new work at Contemporary Haibun Online

Just a quick post to share the latest issue of Contemporary Haibun Online, which includes two of my own haibun (“Birthdays” here and “Walks” here).

The rest of the issue, filled with great work from Chen-ou Liu, Ryan Jessup & others, can be checked out here.

Special thanks to Bob Lucky, Lynne Rees, & Ray Rasmussen for their insight in editing and for giving these pieces a home.

See you Friday!

* new tanka up at A Hundred Gourds

Just a quick post to announce the latest edition of A Hundred Gourds – a quarterly journal of haiku, tanka, haiga, haibun & renku – including fine work from around the world.

Read my own contribution here.

This specific tanka is about my friend Dennis Flinn (who I wrote about previously here).  He had a habit of collecting newspapers, stacks of them, with the goal of going through them all.

To go through each word – yes, that’s a fine goal, indeed.

See you Friday!
